Abstract

Purpose: To examine the relationship between total fat infiltration (TFI) rate, which quantifies the reduction of muscles around the spine and is an important factor for sarcopenia, and the factors affecting osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. Materials and Methods: Patients treated for osteoporotic compression fractures of the lumber spine from January 2012 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, this study included ninety-eight patients who were 1) diagnosed with osteoporosis with a bone mineral density (BMD) T score of less than 2.5 g/cm2, 2) received vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty for lumbar fractures, 3) involved one segment of the lumbar spine, and 4) were followed-up for more than one year. The TFI rate confirmed by analyzing magnetic resonance imagings with the Image J program was studied. Based on this, the relationship between the TFI of the multifidus and erector spinae muscles and the factors of osteoporosis were analyzed. Results: The mean TFI of the multifidus and erector spinae was 14.66±10.16. The spine BMD showed a positive correlation with the hip BMD, but a negative correlation with the TFI. A positive correlation was observed between the hip BMD and body mass index. In addition, vitamin D was positively correlated with both the hip and spine BMD but negatively correlated with the TFI rate. Conclusion: Muscle growth helps treat osteoporosis, and can prevent fractures that occur frequently in osteoporosis patients. Increasing the vitamin intake can also slow the progression of muscle atrophy.

목적: 근감소증에 중요한 요소인 척추 주변 근육 감소를 수치화한 총 지방 침윤율(total fat infiltration rate, TFI rate)과 골다공증성 척추 압박 골절(osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture) 및 관련 수치와의 상관 관계를 찾는 것을 목표로 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2012년 1월부터 2016년 12월까지 요추의 압박 골절 진료를 본 환자들 중 1) 골밀도(bone mineral density, BMD) T score -2.5 g/cm2 미만으로 골다공증을 진단받고, 2) 요추 골절로 경피적 척추성형술(vertebroplasty) 또는 경피적 풍선척추성형술(kyphoplasty)을 받았으며, 3) 요추의 한 분절만 골절된 4) 1년 이상 추시한 환자 98명을 대상으로 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. TFI는 Image J 프로그램으로 자기공명영상을 분석하여 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 다열근(multifidus) 및 척추기립근(erector spinae)의 TFI와 골다공증 요소들과의 연관성을 분석하였다. 결과: 다열근및 척추기립근의 평균 TFI는 14.66±10.16이었다. 척추 BMD는 고관절 BMD와 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관 관계를 보였으나 TFI와 음의 상관 관계를 보였다. 고관절 BMD는 체질량지수(body mass index)와 유의한 양의 상관 관계를 보였다. 또한 비타민 D 수치는 척추 BMD와 고관절 BMD에서 모두 양의 상관 관계를 보였으나, TFI와는 음의 상관 관계를 보였다. 결론: 근육량은 근감소증 환자뿐만 아니라 골다공증 환자의 치료에 있어서도 도움이 되므로 주의깊게 보아야 할 것이다. 또한 비타민 D를 증가시키는 것은 근육 위축의 진행을 늦출 수 있으므로 이로써 골절을 예방하는 효과를 가져올 수 있다.
